Subject: Historical work about Urdu
This the 2nd (1868) edition of "Les Auteurs Hindoustanis et Leurs Ouvrages". The author is the French Orientalist Garcin de Tassy, one of the most renowned European scholars of Urdu. (Prior to the 20th century, European scholars usually referred to Urdu as "Hindustani".)
This is a very significant reference for Urdu literature, as it surveys the then existing biographies and anthologies of Urdu poets.
Unfortunately, the following pages are missing: 45, 52, and 60. Also, there are duplicate copies of some pages.
